Welcome to the SS forums, take Coug's advice and start a thread and give as much detail as possible.

I bought one from the Air Force in San Antonio, it was green and had an Army number inside the kick panels. It did however have all the fluids drained in true AF fashion. It was being used by a group of Apache and Chinook pilots, reservists serving under an active CO using active helicopters...

I forgot that some had 4 speeds, it would be interesting to find out if they started out as A1s or A2s, possibly the 3 speed became no longer available and they upgraded the A1s to 4 speed? Do the 4 speed R1s have V belts? What gear ratio diffs do the 4 speed R1s have?? None of the ones I have...

It takes all three belts to drive that 200A alternator and then the fan kicks on....... ;)

Evidently the R1 designation is given to A1 vehicles that have been rebuilt, Unlike the A2 vehicles which get rebuilt with A2 parts thus keeping the A2 designation the A1 received the 6.5L and the NP242 transfer case (because the 6.2L and NP218 were no longer in production) this would give...

Then treat it as an A1, but the transfer case is probably the same as an R2, they used a "de-tuned" 6.5L (most I have seen are GEP, that is good!) and I assume the NP218 transfer case was no longer available so it looks like all of them got the NP242. All of the engine accessories, belts etc are A1.

I am curious if it is a 4 speed truck, easy enough, does it have a park position? Then where did it come from? All the ones I have seen so far coming out of Texas are three speeds, although I have not looked lately, would be nice if they got down to the "A2s" down here..
